1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,920 This is Hacker Public Radio episode 3,901 from Monday the 17th of July 2023. 2 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,240 Today's show is entitled, Time Management. 3 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:23,000 It is hosted by operator and is about 21 minutes long. 4 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,800 It carries an explicit flag. 5 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:40,800 The summary is Time Management. 6 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,800 Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of Hacker Public Radio with your host, operator. 7 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:51,360 I'm going to do this one off the cuff in my car, so hopefully I won't melt before I run 8 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,360 of air conditioning. 9 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:58,360 Anyways, this is going to be over how I manage my time with an income communications 10 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,360 here lately with ADHD. 11 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:07,000 So if you have problems with time management or communicating effectively, executive function, 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:14,560 impulse control, whatever task-quitching, this is how I am currently dealing with some 13 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,560 of that. 14 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:22,040 The first thing I'll say is the impulse control stuff I've learned to say give me five minutes, 15 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,000 especially with my wife, so if we're doing something or if I'm in the middle of something 16 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,840 or if I'm trying to finish something up, someone asks me, especially my wife for something, 17 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,320 I'll say, you know, just give me a second, give me five minutes, give me ten minutes, sometimes 18 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:39,000 I need long and then five minutes, but usually five minutes is plenty of time, now people 19 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,680 don't want to hear that when they're hanging on the roof or in the middle of some kind 20 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,760 of crisis or some of my crisis, but it's something you can start out with instead of just 21 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,800 no or an frustrating response, so that seems to work most of the time, and then kind 22 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:03,960 of the second piece is time management, which is extremely difficult for me. 23 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:11,800 I can't remember anything unless it's a calendar item or an alarm on top of that, so way 24 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:18,920 I have it set up right now is I have a family calendar, and that family calendar has up to three, 25 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:25,080 maybe four calendars on it that show the availability, so it'll say busy, and the way I have 26 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,840 it set up is that my wife has her own calendar that she adds to, and then I have my own calendar 27 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:37,480 that is basically my calendar is the family calendar actually, and Kathy's calendar is I think 28 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:44,200 her calendar is more or less, and she uses it whatever, but I've given her access to my calendar, 29 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:52,360 and that's kind of become the family shared calendar, along with Kathy's calendar is kind of 30 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:58,040 a family calendar too, so I share her availability and my availability and then the scouts 31 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,280 events and stuff, so between those three calendars, I can share the availability 32 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:12,760 in a URL, because you can have multiple calendars in one calendar view, and it's a bit complicated, 33 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,880 and if I remember I'll put in show notes, but you can share as many calendars as you want in one 34 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:26,040 single month view, so that's one way to easily show friends and family, hey, here's my availability 35 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,840 right now, it doesn't include my work stuff obviously, so that's how I handle that. 36 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,760 The family stuff, people can see availability, we can usually work it out, we can put 37 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,040 she doesn't like to do it, and she's been a lot better lately in my life. 38 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,400 I'll tell her, hey, you don't have to set up the event, but just let me know, put a TBT, 39 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,880 like two B determined, so if it says two B determined, I know to ask her and follow up with her, 40 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,320 or I need to fill in more information, like when the event is, or what the location is, 41 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:05,560 or the address, or whatever, and I'll pick up the rest, so really all she has to do is make sure that 42 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,600 I know I need to follow up on something, put it in the general area of what it is, and just put to be 43 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,440 determined in front of it, so I know, ooh, what does this thing I need to elaborate on, get more 44 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:20,120 information, instead of her having to figure out the calendar event, and it's maybe a repeating event, 45 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,920 and it's like Monday through Wednesday, but it's till December 24th, and she has, you know, 46 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,440 comfortable, she's not quite comfortable doing that, and she doesn't need that, right? So 47 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,360 I'll do that, we'll work through that, and we're still kind of working through that, but she's helped 48 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:40,680 out and just made a big difference. That's how I handle most of my family stuff. My availability is 49 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:47,560 flexible for work, but what I tend to do is I have, we use Microsoft at work, and Microsoft has a 50 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:54,040 free thing for 360, it's called bookings, and you can have a public bookings calendar that just shows 51 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:00,280 your availability, and all it does is have, you can set 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, whatever, 52 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:05,800 and then they can put in their email, and they can add additional notes, I have as required. 53 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:14,680 So basically, any vendor, any person that sends me a thing, or if I have a message with them, 54 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,680 then I can just send in that link, and I can send it internally, it doesn't matter who it is, 55 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,000 and they can easily book a meeting with me. So if they do it internally, I see all their information 56 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,320 whatever, and a lot of them actually results at it, all that for me, it's not just random, I don't 57 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:35,000 think, and if I do it externally, then they get the email address, and I have some idea of who set the 58 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,400 invite, and if they leave their right email, I can work with them to try to figure out what's going on. 59 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:47,000 I actually have my email set to junk-filter high, so that way, I don't get fishing emails, 60 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,840 I don't get any external emails, I only get internal emails, I'm on the security team, 61 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,800 so if I'm working with a vendor, and a vendor says they're going to send me information, 62 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,280 or I'm looking for some information, or I'm looking for some usually token authentication, 63 00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:04,920 or something like that, what I'll do is I'll sell them, hey, let me know you're going to send 64 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,880 me something, because if you're sending on behalf of someone else, or through some third-party 65 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:15,320 service, I need to look out for that email, because, you know, they'll say, oh, I'll set 66 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,320 up an account, I'll send you a password, no, they're not sending you anything, they're enrolling 67 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,800 you in some kind of SaaS service, and yet to be kind of thin of that, and I'll still check the 68 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,120 junk mail every once in a mile, but generally speaking, I've missed things before, where vendors 69 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,520 just arbitrarily send me stuff, and then, you know, I can't, I can't, I have to make sure that 70 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,720 I'm aware of that, so that's how I handle that. I have basically eight alarms per day, 71 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:46,840 more or less, I have a personal alarm, I have a work alarm that basically from one fires, 72 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:53,720 so in Android, you can set a alarm, and you can set it repeating, but you, I set the personal and 73 00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:00,840 work alarm to not repeat, so essentially, whatever meeting I have next the day before, I put it in 74 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:06,040 the queue, and usually that works, sometimes if I have back-to-back meetings that I'm not paying 75 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,520 attention, I might be on a call a little bit longer, and hopefully if I'm on the computer, 76 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,640 I'll actually see that pop up up, or I'll see the pop up on the phone, but usually if stuff 77 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,760 runs together, or I get off a one call, and I'll go eat lunch, and forget that I've, you know, 78 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:26,600 I've scheduled a meeting, or not actually set the alarm back, so sometimes I'm missed some meetings, 79 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000 because I have to reset my personal, my work alarm, because I only have one at a time. 80 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,680 I will miss meetings if I do not have a lot of more of them, no matter how many times 81 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:42,840 I get notifications, same thing for any kind of time-based event, depending on how big it is, 82 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,640 there's an app for Android, at least called Time to Leave, and it used to be part of Google, 83 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,680 and it's not anymore, but Time to Leave will tell you when to leave essentially, so as long as it's 84 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,360 running, you'll get a pop-up notification and say, oh, Time to Leave, you have, you can configure it 85 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,160 for 15 minutes, 20 minutes, how much will the time you need, and based on the traffic patterns, 86 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,680 and Google, it'll tell you, hey, you need to leave by 430 to get there by 5 o'clock, right? 87 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,400 And it will buffer the time in there, and you can set the buffer, you however much you want. 88 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,480 I set all my events for when I'm actually physically supposed to be there, not when I'm supposed to 89 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:25,560 get ready. So, I way I have consistency across the board, so sometimes I've said, oh, you know, 90 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,800 this event is at 4 o'clock, but really, I'm going to be helping out, and I need to be there in 91 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,600 our early, so I'm going to set it at 3 o'clock, so then when the event comes along, I'm like, 92 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,960 ooh, I set that 3 o'clock for when I actually need to be there, or did I set it for the event, 93 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,400 when the actual time starts, and I subtract another hour, so it was really, is it really 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock? 94 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:52,040 I don't know, so for consistency, steak, no matter what the event is, I do it when 95 00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:58,120 everyone else is supposed to be there, and then I calculate the time needed for me to 96 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:03,400 hellvow, or if I'm, you know, if I'm coordinating, helping coordinate the event, or whatever the 97 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:09,080 party is, I know that I need to subtract a time no matter what. It's when everybody else is supposed 98 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:14,920 to be at the event, so that helps with any confusion as to, did I subtract the time I'm supposed to, 99 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,800 or am I supposed to be there for, or if I was supposed to be there, 3 o'clock, I don't know. 100 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Um, so that will help with the calendar stuff. Same thing for personal, I'll set up my personal 101 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:33,480 alarms. Um, I have one for just like doing the cat poop, and the way my alarms work is, 102 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,880 until the task is complete, I will hit this news button. If I don't do that, then I will miss it. 103 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:46,120 And it by default, it's like 5 minutes for Android, and then after like 5 news, or 3 104 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,200 news is, it goes to like 20 minutes or something, and then eventually, I think after like an hour 105 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,360 and a half, it turns off, and it won't let you keep snoozing it or something like that. But 106 00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:02,200 usually, by within an hour, hopefully, I've been able to get finished with that task or whatever it is, 107 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:08,360 so that I can switch to the tasks that's on the alarm. But like, I never hit the silence or the 108 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,560 dismiss until it's actually done. So I'll be going downstairs to do the thing, or I'll be going 109 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:18,760 upstairs to do the thing, or whatever the task is, I'll be, you know, I'll go in the kitchen to do the 110 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,040 thing, and then it ever happens, and then I'm like, oh, I missed the thing, because I never, 111 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,960 I went down to the kitchen, but I got distracted by something else, or someone else had an 112 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:33,000 injection, and I lost track before I was supposed to be doing, and then now I've forgotten. So 113 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:39,320 I don't, I snooze the alarm until it's done. So even if I'm like in the middle of, you know, 114 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,200 cleaning out the cat litter, and the alarm goes off, I will still sometimes hit this news button, 115 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,520 because you never know, I might be distracted, and I might get pulled off the task, and then 116 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,280 have, you know, have the cat litter have done or whatever the task is. 117 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,080 For my medications, I about to go into the program here. I use program for everything. My health 118 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:07,080 insurance is not great, and they want you to use CVS, whatever, but it doesn't necessarily matter, 119 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,160 because I use good RX, and I had a rant about drugs, and haven't to deal with prescriptions, 120 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:21,080 and all that stuff. So having the ADHD meds, that's annoying. The way I set that up is I have 121 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:27,720 a repeating event for whatever the thing is. So pick up the prescription. I set the date on that 122 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:36,280 in the actual title. So for example, 519 is when I'm available, I can fill go get more prescriptions 123 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:45,720 from my doctors on 519. So I put RX, you know, pick up 519, and if 519 comes, and I'm not able 124 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:53,800 to do that task, I have it automatically repeat every day forever. So that way, if I miss a Tuesday, 125 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,800 or whenever the day of 19th is, it's going to relearn the 20th in the 21st, and when it, and now it's 126 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:06,040 been a week and a day, and I'm just now doing the task that I was supposed to do last week, which was 127 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:13,080 like, you know, the 18th or something. So that repeating every day, the same task that I haven't completed, 128 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,720 is more the same of the, you know, likes of this news button. You know, I'm essentially 129 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,320 repeating that task or repeating that event, and telling it to finish forever. And then when I 130 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:29,320 fill the prescription, when I pick up the prescriptions, I put, I just changed the title of the date, 131 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,520 and then I move that item to the next month. Instead of having to recreate it and get it all 132 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:40,680 worked out, I'll move that item to, you know, whenever it's, it's ready to be completed again, 133 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,000 and then I just keep moving and I keep changing the title. So that way, I always know, 134 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:52,360 ooh, I was supposed to go get more prescriptions on the 19th, and now it's the 21st, and, you know, 135 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:57,160 I'm in the whole three days or whatever, but I'm getting that repeating notification every day, 136 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,560 and I'm like, ooh, you know, it's been a week. I'm behind, you know, I'm getting low. I need to 137 00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:06,600 make sure that I do this task today, same thing for the refills. You know, same thing, 138 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,960 shenanigans for the refills. You know, I'm supposed to do it Monday, I didn't do it. 139 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,720 I'm supposed to do Tuesday, didn't do it. Wednesday, I completely forgot, but now that I have that 140 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:22,280 moving, that repeating notification with the date, I have an idea of, okay, when is it actually 141 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,400 happening, when did I pick it up? So if you fill the prescription, you know, it doesn't actually 142 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,520 start till you pick it up. So then I have to reset that date. So, you know, I'm supposed to do it 143 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:37,640 on the 19th, but I don't actually do it till the 21st, and then that reset that changes the reset 144 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:44,040 date, right? So I keep moving that date in that title as it changes, so that I always know, when I 145 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:52,760 can actually complete that task and get it, get it done. So that's how a handle meds communication. 146 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:58,520 I've been using CHAPT, CHAPT with non-sensitive, you know, stuff for work. 147 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:07,640 I have never had that consistency with writing and assistance, and I feel like after maybe a year 148 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:17,880 or two or three, the way the more I see a CHAPT or whatever AI I use, change that signature 149 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,920 I'm going to understand, you know, actually the LVU's promise, and actually be able to 150 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,440 have the context, because with my brain, I start conversations out in the middle of the conversation, 151 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:36,120 and then people have to work overdrive to understand what I'm even talking about. And that's just 152 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:42,520 part of how my brain works, and sometimes how I communicate. So a lot of my writing comes out 153 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,480 in that same regard, is I'll be too forward, or too joking, and I won't be professional enough. 154 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,760 I'm when I'm talking even internally, you know, that professionalism sometimes can 155 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:58,040 turn into comedy, because I'm trying to, you know, work with a sensitive subject, or a difficult 156 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:03,160 subject, or a difficult time that I've had with a different group. And, you know, it's the, 157 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,840 even if you write an angry email, but you can tell the CHAPT put that angry email in and CHAPT 158 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,800 will make it not angry anymore. More or less, you'll have some tone in there, but it won't 159 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:20,600 be nearly as bad as McCurdy's speaking. So, you know, God forbid, God forbid to add context, 160 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:26,760 it will compress, you know, I don't know how to do commas, so I have, I write, I write kind of 161 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:34,840 in the style of how I think it's going to compress everything together. So, you know, I'm 162 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,920 more writing the prompt out how I know it's going to compress things together. So, it's like, 163 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,320 I like, you know, I like turtles, I like the beach, I like, you know, to walk on the beach, 164 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:51,480 and knowing that I'm writing it incorrectly, I'll start to see the idea is I'll start to see 165 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,880 CHAPT piece those together, and I'll be like, oh, well, that's how I do commas. Oh, 166 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,280 well, that's how I do add context in the front of something, and this is how the flow should be, 167 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,480 okay, oh, I had this in the wrong position, and this has nothing to do with what I'm trying to 168 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:12,680 communicate, but it's a rant, or some kind of incidental piece of information, and I'll use that, 169 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:20,040 you know, clear and concise context. I'd prevent somebody from getting ran into in the 170 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:26,040 cover parking lot here. So, that's how I handle, how I handle in communication, 171 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:33,720 um, and really kind of trying to help with my grammar. Other than that, um, you know, 172 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:39,560 communication with with your loved ones, and, you know, reestablishing relationships with people, 173 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:45,560 you have avoided that you are in your family, that you that are willing to have conversations, 174 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:54,520 right? Um, it's really important, right? I'm 43, something like that, um, and it, you know, 175 00:16:54,600 --> 00:17:00,760 as you get older, your friends and your relatives start to have friends and family and parents pass away, 176 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,120 and you start realizing, you know what? Maybe avoiding your parents, or avoiding this particular 177 00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:12,840 relative, or avoiding, you know, a family member is not the best way to handle it, and you, 178 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,720 you can try to be reasonable, then you can try to be cordial, and you can, you know, talk about 179 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:23,080 what, what you're having hard time with, and establish boundaries to start, and once you've 180 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,360 established those boundaries, you can try and repair, or work on the relationship, but, you know, 181 00:17:28,360 --> 00:17:33,640 it's avoiding people, just because it's hard, is, is the easy thing to do? And a lot of people, 182 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,840 you know, we don't really have that community anymore, and as the different generations of 183 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:44,280 children come out, it's been more of that, where it's just easier to avoid people, and that's not 184 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:49,880 kind of help in the long run, and it makes you a better person if you're able to work with people 185 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:55,080 that, you know, are neurodiverse, or they have their problems, and then nobody's perfect, we're all 186 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:01,400 just people, and being able to communicate effectively and say, hey, you know, I feel like you're 187 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:07,640 having a hard time with this thing, you know, get some, you know, a lot of live therapy, or 188 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,360 legit therapy for a little while, and it's kind of understand, you know, where you struggle with communication, 189 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:20,200 and how you can communicate effectively with people, um, is one way to start, but I'll go, I'll get 190 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:26,920 off of that rant and let you all go. So hopefully, they'll have my meds for me, and I will be resetting 191 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,240 the dates and all that stuff, but that's just how I've been trying to, you know, make myself better, 192 00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:38,200 and work on communication with time management, and if it's not on the calendar, it does not happen. 193 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:44,520 So I'll let you guys go, and hopefully have some fun, see some family, and, you know, communicate, 194 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:51,480 communicate with all communication. Okay, so I'll go back in the car and realize I've missed a couple 195 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:59,080 things, started with 17 minutes, so be quick. The other way I do tasks is in a task list, which is 196 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:06,920 I use Google Keep, I have a task for each PR, I have a, like a task list for a house, 197 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:15,960 general house stuff, and then I have a task list for other things. So anyways, it's just a list, 198 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,680 a task list that I use in Google Keep, and I'll just add to it. So for example, if it's not 199 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,640 anything that's pressing, then used to be done, then I put it on a task list, or if it's something 200 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:32,040 I need to look at later, maybe that download a check out a movie, or check out a new book, or 201 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:38,440 something like that, I'll put it on there to, on the task list, and if it doesn't have 202 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:43,240 criticality, then I will put it on the list, because you know, sometimes there might be a day or two 203 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,000 until I actually look at my task list. So if it's not anything, then needs to be addressed right away. 204 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:56,840 I'll use Google Keep, and kind of separate those out, and sometimes the tasks get done, 205 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:03,000 sometimes they don't, sometimes they sit on there forever, and never get done. So that's some 206 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:08,680 of it, but you know, if it's a little thing, you know, remember to go buy this, or pick this up, 207 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,960 I'll use Google Keep. The other thing I wanted to say was, I can't remember right now. 208 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,920 So another newer way I've been doing this is I've been setting up the title as RX space, and then 209 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:27,960 whatever needs to wherever I need to go, followed by the date, and then that repeats every day, 210 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:34,840 and I move that calendar event around. So for example, if it's go to Kruger on 627, 211 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:43,000 then I repeat that on 627 daily, and if I remiss it, I know, okay, the title says 627, 212 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,200 I was supposed to do that, you know, a week ago, and I can change the date, had, you know, 60, 213 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,560 however many accounts, so add 60 to the date, or 30 to the date, of when I pick it up. So when I pick it up, 214 00:20:53,560 --> 00:21:00,280 I set the date to win 30 days, 60 days plus of whenever I picked it up. That seems to be working, 215 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,640 but even then I had to go back and wipe everything out, and start clean, and start over with a nice clean 216 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,280 titles, because everything got weird and moved around, and I changed their own name with 217 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,880 their own one, and everything got all messed up, so I had to go back and figure it out. So I tried 218 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,120 to do it that way, but we'll see how that goes. 219 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,120 You have been listening to Hecker Public Radio at Hecker Public Radio.org. 220 00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:33,160 Today's show was contributed by a HBR listening like yourself, if you ever thought of recording a podcast, 221 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:40,760 and click on our contributally to find out how easy it means.
